Oizumi, Gunma, Japan｜Himawari Bento

In east Oizumi or west Ora? Need/want a bento? Forget about convenience stores or chain shops. Go here. Large portions, freshly made, and inexpensive. Himawari bento is your go-to place for a good to-go lunch in west Oizumi.

This is a bento shop tucked away in a residential area. Fried chicken bento (¥520) I purchased a large bowl of rice (¥50). The food is cooked and fried after you order. It was completed in about 7 minutes. It's simple: 3 large pieces of fried chicken, yakisoba, and pickles. The fried chicken was breast meat, but it was extremely hot and extremely delicious. It comes with tartar sauce and salt and pepper, but the batter had a lot of flavor so I could eat it without adding anything. The rice was fluffy and glossy, and went perfectly with the piping hot fried chicken. Personally, I like thigh meat more than breast meat when it comes to fried chicken, but this may be the first time I've ever seen a bento shop with breast meat that was so delicious.

It was my first time visiting the store. This time, we will be offering a fried chicken bento “large size rice” for 570 yen. Side dish “Fried chicken and Yakisoba set” 150 yen order. The fried chicken was very, very large and very delicious. I had people at work try it too, and it was very well received! ! “Eating outside is so delicious!”
